Santa Ponsa/Majorca

[Craphouserat]

anybody been to Santa Ponsa before? Majorca is one place I've never thought about going before but the O/H and I are giving this place serious consideration for a wee break.

Any experience good/bad/indifferent?

Cheers all.

SP is little Ireland, loads of Irish bars and loads of Irish and Scots visit it. Has some nice hotels and a great beach, the square has family entertainment and shows every night throughout the summer. The main Irish strip of bars can be somewhat akin to Magalluf mid summer but this is only a small area and a couple of apartments close by are a bit of a zoo, this is mainly the Deia apartments, avoid this small area and the rest of the resort is lovely. Any questions fire away...

Thanks for that info - very useful as we're hoping for a quiet break.

The place we are specifically looking at is the Sentido Punta Del Mar.

More than anything a quiet break near a beach and hopefully some Scuba Diving is what we're after - no piss heads keeping us awake etc.

Thanks again for that info - if I have anything to ask I'll maybe pm you before we book, really good info.

Cheers

The Punta del Mar is probably the best hotel in the resort, was completely refitted last year, fire away if you want to know any more.

Magic - thanks again.

If you want quiet in Mallorca, head to Pollensa (the old town, not the port) or Cala St Vincenze just around the headland. Both are wonderful places for chilling out

Just back from Santa Ponsa. We stayed in the Fergus Cala Blanca which is a 2 min walk from the Sentido. Its in a quieter part of SP but only a 10 min walk to the centre. The square is right by the hotel and has free tribute bands playing each night which are pretty good. By midnight or so it gets reasonably quiet.

If you fancy a seriously good steak, try El Ceibo which has a huge selection cooked as you like.
